The Missouri Catholic Conference, the public policy agency for the church in Missouri, slammed the ruling and urged the attorney general's office to appeal.

But what is the church's stance on House Bill 457 which establishes that doctors can decline certain care that violates their beliefs?

"The bill would allow a nurse to refuse to participate in giving any of those drugs," McClay tells us. "Whether that would mean the patient wouldn't get it is another question."

Critics of the bill argue that the proposal could directly block victims of rape from accessing the care that they need, if, for example, they don't have the means to find a second option when doctors refuse them, citing the moral conscience law.

"One individual person could say they are not comfortable giving Plan B, ella [birth control or other drugs]," argues McClay, adding, "I don't see anything about it that would be illegal."

Of course they are, it's what rednecks do. Just wondering, when is the last time the Missouri legislature did a single thing to help create jobs, boost the economy or help the working class.
ANSWER: Never. It's all about attacking women's rights, crushing unions and handing out tax breaks to the wealthy. How about their latest attempt to prohibit taxation of gold and silver by their wealthy supporters? Yeah, that's what they're working on.
